Türkiye Addresses Israeli Violations


(MENAFN) Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated on Saturday that breaches by Israel are making attempts to advance a peace initiative in the Gaza Strip “incredibly more difficult.” His remarks followed high-level discussions in the United States that included officials from Egypt and Qatar.

On Friday, representatives from the US, Türkiye, Egypt, and Qatar convened in Miami to deliberate on the Gaza situation. Fidan attended on behalf of Türkiye and later briefed reporters about the meeting, which centered on Gaza-related issues.

He pointed out that significant time has passed since the Gaza Peace Plan was first implemented, a process launched through the agreement reached at the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Summit.

“Now, since the first phase has been completed following the release of the last hostage, the parameters for moving to the second phase are being discussed. Perhaps after Sharm el-Sheikh, yesterday’s meeting was the most important one. Frankly, we continued our meetings in various formats and settings until late last night,” he explained.

Fidan described the gathering as encouraging, noting that participants had the chance to examine in detail the challenges encountered during the initial stage.

He emphasized: “Especially as Türkiye, we clearly stated that ceasefire violations (by Israel) are endangering the peace plan and creating major risks for transitioning to the second phase. The ongoing violations by Israel, in particular, are making the process incredibly more difficult. What we see is that all parties are in agreement on this issue, and we also had various discussions on how to prevent this.”
